This meaty sweet treat is a cross between a doughnut and a sausage - and it could be coming to a barbecue near you.

The sickly-sounding food hybrid snack, which is filled with jam, is the brainchild of Liam Bennett who is turning the heads of major retailers with his barmy creation.

Inspired by the Cronut (a cross between a croissant and a doughnut) and the Duffin (a cross between a muffin and a doughnut), branding expert Liam spent around 12 months working out what other products would benefit from an injection of jam.

The 37-year-old from Ammanford, Wales, told Wales Online : “I started thinking about what else could be crossed with a doughnut, and wondered if a sausage would work.

“I began with pork with strawberry and cumberland with raspberry, and, contrary to many other people’s expectations, they worked really well together.”

He said: “In November last year I ran a Design-A-Dausage competition on our Facebook page.

“There was a lot of interest and over 50 entries, including pork with peanut butter and blackberry jam, lamb with apricot jam and chicken with lemon curd.

“The eventual winner of the public vote, with hundreds of votes, was the Christmas Dausage, a pork sausage with mulled jam wrapped in bacon.”

Current flavours in production also include pork and beef with custard, venison with strawberry custard and a vegetarian dausage filed with Primula cheese.

“I have had some interest for the idea from major retailers,” he said.

“But I need to get the recipe right as there is no machine for making them at the moment, so I am working on a Kickstarter campaign to raise money to develop just that, but in the meantime we are concentrating on our catering.”

Meanwhile the ambitious inventor said more products could soon be on the way, including Dorizo, Dalami, Dipolatas, Dankfurters and Black Dudding.
